And this story relates to helping us as consumers exactly how? He's an alcoholic which is a disease recognized by the AMA. What's next? Tammy Faye and the latest victim of AIDS? Or are you hoping for a buyout offer from the National Enquirer?

Why on earth does the second fact sound like a Chuck Norris fact?

Seriously, just remove "Nick Nolte" and put in "Chuck Norris", and it's like bad customer service ala badass.

Drunk Nolte on a plane would probably be one of the best and worst flights of all time...

Not that I am a Nolte Fan or anything, but everyone is calling him a has-been, when a quick look at IMDB shows him to still have quite an active career. He just seems to pick roles aimed at a more....mature demographic than what one usually gets from reddit or the consumerist...

@faust1200: Have heard this on audio, but thanks for the link! Brilliant!

And while I'm not a music company shill, Patton does a new CD out which I'm making my way through right now and its excellent - as is his previous one.

There needs to be an Inebreation-Off between Nick Nolte, George Michael and a time-warped from twenty years ago Robert Downy Junior.

(Though I think Robert has the advantage, since at his worst, he merely took a nap on someone's couch. Not to mention his pulling through).

Kudos to the people who (a) took photos, and (b) included them as part of the story. I probably would have skipped this story if not for the pix.

Nolte is from my home town. And no one f**king claims this guy. the city hoots and hollers about Brando and Fonda, and Buffett. But this guy gets bubkis. I wonder why...

Though he did f**kin pwn Shaq in Blue Chips!

Of course, you won't get the money you gave Nick for the vending machine. Nick Nolte always gets comped.

Out of the corner of my eye, I had slight dyslexia and thought it said drunk Nicole Richie. Then I was like, she is with child!

Then I saw it was Nolte and shrugged.

Many Nick Noltes look alike. Be sure to check the tags to be sure you have picked up the correct Nick Nolte.

Ya know, it's really easy to spot a celeb these days--they're usually the ones who can still afford recreational alcohol AFTER expenses.

I bet Nick Nolte is a good drunk, though, before he gets to the pass out stage.

Hey, stop dissing Nick. Nutcase! Sad! Wtf?! The man is living the American Dream you jealous bastards! Oh, sure just because he doesn't fit your worldview with your money, and your work, and not rolling around on the floor, you think you can ridicule and pity him. Nick Nolte doesn't need your pity!

Leave Nick alone. . . someone went and reminded him he was in Prince of Tides. If you were in Prince of Tides you would drink too.

@thbarnes: Oh no he is a documented nutcase now.

The problem is at this point, I have the sad feeling people would actually NOT help Nolte THINKING he was being him if god forbid something did happen to him.

Every time you think he finally got his act together, he goes right off the wagon. Its to the point his antics dont even make the news anymore.

"Nick Nolte's flight was delayed at the Kauai airport, so he decided to roll around on the floor passing in and out of consciousness."

I, for one, hope he's not diabetic and wasn't extremely hypoglycemic while everyone watched, took pictures, and laughed.

He could have been experiencing a drug interaction, a stroke, any number of medical emergencies.

Anyone lapsing in and out of consciousness should be evaluated by trained medical personnel, regardless of why you THINK they are acting that way, because you really never know.
